This article introduces the basic concept of a novel 6-parameter model case-crossover study with active comparator design. While case-crossover study design eliminates time-invariant confounding, the 6-parameter model as a modified version also allows studying the effect of drug initiation patterns between two interacting drugs. The implementation of the case-crossover study is illustrated, including the generation of the dataset for data analysis and performing the 6-parameter model using conditional logistic regression. Potential interpretation framework is proposed using eight combinations based on three scenarios shown in the results of the 6-parameter case-crossover study design.

Crossover Experiments
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.
